The Battle Erupts!

The proctor's words fell, and the examinees began collecting their scrolls.

"Damn!"

Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at the scroll in his hand, then immediately cast his gaze toward the other teams.

"Those guys from Kumogakure seem to have gotten 'Heaven' as well!" a Mist Ninja on the side reminded him.

"It doesn't matter; the rules never said teams with the same scroll can't fight for it!" Kisame Hoshigaki wore a slight smile.

"What a pity! The ones those guys got are also 'Heaven', not our target!"

Over here, the Cloud Ninja team also noticed Kisame Hoshigaki and his group.

"After we get inside, we'll look for an 'Earth' scroll first, and deal with the others last!"

"Captain, look, it's that guy. He really is alone!"

During the Cloud Ninja exchange, Mu Feng stepped forward alone to collect his scroll.

"It's an Earth scroll! That guy got 'Earth'!"

Seeing the scroll Mu Feng retrieved, the eyes of the Kumogakure members lit up, while Kisame Hoshigaki and the others, along with other teams holding Heaven scrolls, also cast their gazes over.

"Kisame, that guy... looks like he has an Earth scroll!"

"No rush, observe first! Since he came to take part alone, he should have some capability. Besides, he's also a member of the Uchiha Clan; he's probably already awakened his Sharingan!"

"He's a tough bone to crack! Participating in the exam by himself! If this weren't the Chunin Ninja Exams, I'd actually want to try fighting this guy!"

The three of them discussed it.

Participating in the exam alone, compared to the standard three-person team configuration, was definitely at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!

Yet anyone able to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams and smoothly pass the first round of testing was by no means a fool.

A normal lineup might just have ordinary strength.

An abnormal lineup, however, definitely possessed abnormal aspects.

Likewise, Kumogakure and the other teams also noticed this special existence named Mu Feng.

"Participating in the exam alone?"

"Even if he's from the Uchiha Clan, isn't he a bit too overconfident?"

"Pay attention, the scroll in his hand is an Earth scroll, which happens to form a pair with ours!"

Staring at Mu Feng, many teams muttered among themselves in secret.

Mu Feng glanced around, showing no aversion to the gazes of the others.

If they wanted to take the scroll in his hand, they had better have the ability to back it up.

Soon, the distribution of the scrolls ended, and the various teams began advancing into the Forest of Death.

To prevent conflicts between teams right at the start, the Forest of Death had multiple entrances, and different teams would enter from different ones.

Mu Feng was assigned to the third entrance. Holding the scroll, he arrived at the third gate.

"Hold on, where are your teammates?"

The ninja in charge of watching the entrance asked with surprise when he saw only Mu Feng standing there.

"Just me, I'm participating in the exam alone!"

"Participating in the exam alone!?" The Konoha Ninja furrowed his brow. "Then you'd better be a little careful. According to past experience, those who participate alone are generally targeted as the primary objective, especially by teams from other villages. I'm afraid you're already being watched right now!"

"Doesn't matter! If they want to come over, then let them come!" Mu Feng raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, the Konoha Ninja said nothing more.

Participating in the exam alone meant he certainly had some skill!

Even so, he had already given the warning he should give; whether to heed it or not was entirely Mu Feng's business.

"Alright, time's up, you can go in!" Glancing at his watch, the Konoha Ninja allowed Mu Feng to enter the Forest of Death.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the Forest of Death.

"The one we got is a Heaven scroll, so we should look for the team that got the Earth scroll to attack!"

"I just scouted around, and most of the teams that got Earth scrolls are about the same as us, but there's one special character among them!"

In a hidden corner, Torune spoke to Hana Inuzuka and Hokado Hyuga beside him.

"You mean that guy? The Uchiha clansman doing the solo exam?" Hana Inuzuka reacted immediately while her brow furrowed.

"I think we'd better not go mess with that guy; Graymaru caught a different scent off him!"

"A different scent!?" Hokado Hyuga's gaze sharpened.

"In any case, that guy won't be weaker than other teams, and the opponent is also a member of the Uchiha Clan. There's no telling if he's already awakened the Sharingan!" Hana Inuzuka spoke up again.

"Fine! Then let's tentatively target other teams instead!"

Torune sighed and continued discussing their target assignment.

Right at that moment.

"Well, well, well, isn't this the Konoha team?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind the three of them.

At the sound, the three immediately looked over with vigilance, and Graymaru by Hana Inuzuka's side had already prepared for battle.

"You're the Cloud Ninja team?" Hokado Hyuga looked toward the other party. "If we remember correctly, the scroll you got is also a Book of Heaven! There's no need for us to fight at a time like this!"

"Indeed!"

A tall, burly man stepped out from among the Kumogakure group.

"The scroll in our hands is indeed a Heaven scroll, but coincidentally, on the road advancing here just now, we already wiped out a Konoha team!"

"And now, hand over the scroll in your possession, or let us do it ourselves!"

With that, the Kumogakure ninja wore a sly smile.

Hokado Hyuga and the other two furrowed their brows and instantly prepared for battle.

Yet right at that moment,

Bang, bang, bang-

Suddenly, from one side of the two teams, a series of fighting sounds echoed over.

"There are other teams?"

Hearing the sounds of combat, the three Cloud Ninja immediately leaped high into the air. Gazing outward, they saw that a layer of smoke had indeed surged up on their right side.

Over here, Hokado Hyuga and his companions also vaulted up into the high air.

"What should we do?" a Cloud Ninja asked.

"When the scrolls were handed out just now, I paid attention. Those three on the opposite side should have a Heaven scroll, and the guy leading them seems to be a member of the Hyuga Clan!" another Cloud Ninja added.

"Fine then! Leave them alone and go check out the fighting area first!" The three Cloud Ninja reached a consensus, and then charged toward the direction where the battle had broken out.

"They left?"

Seeing the Cloud Ninja depart, Hana Inuzuka immediately asked.

"Don't rush, wait while I take a look!"

Hokado Hyuga spoke at once, and immediately activated his Byakugan.

His vision pierced through patch after patch of jungle, and quickly, Hokado Hyuga locked onto the two sides currently fighting.

"There are four people in total ahead, and that person is... that guy from the Uchiha Clan!"

"Let's rush over too!"

"Even if we don't get the Earth scroll ourselves, we definitely can't let those three bastards from the Cloud Ninja have it!"

As his words fell, Hokado Hyuga and the other two sprinted toward the battlefield ahead!
